Tribeca is running three great shorts as part of their free film series:
QUEEN OF BASKETBALL
Luscia "Lucy" Harris one of the greatest basketball players, men or women, whoever played the game. She was so good that she was drafted by the NBA.
Magnificent biography of Ms Harris as told by the lady herself. To be certain there is more to the story but quite frankly this is so good that I'm guessing some one will make a feature version of her story. Though I doubt it will be as deeply moving as this film (unless it steals the score)
I loved this film completely. I loved it because you can't help but fall in love with the women at the center. She is an absolute charmer. And I loved it because it's a great story.
I can't recommend this film enough.
Destined for the Oscars and award glory. Hopefully it will make Lucy more well known.
RIPE
When her boyfriend misses his plane and makes excuses, a young woman vacationing in Spain finds herself attracted to the woman whose arm she broke.
Sweet little romance that will make you smile. The film is the perfect combination of tight writing, pitch perfect performances and the perfect stylistic filmmaking to make it all work. It's the perfect combination to win over a grumpy viewer who thought this was going to be run of the mill.
Yes, I was grumbling at the start, however by the end I had a big smile on my face and cheered out loud at the end.
This is the the best of film- one that upends your expectations and gives you something light years beyond what you thought you were getting.
An absolute joy.
Highly recommended.
JANE AUSTEN'S PERIOD DRAMA
While getting a much desired marriage proposal Miss Estrogenia ends up having her period. Her suitor is unaware of periods and rushes her off to get medical treatment.
A smile producing film about a less enlightened time when some things were never discussed, especially in polite company. It is a delightful modern day comedy in a period setting.
